“…In a study done by Inamdar P et al, prevalence of 34.2% was observed, which is similar to the present study. 17 In this study, pes planus was predominant among females (66%) compared to males (34%). This result was similar to studies done by Okezu OC et al, Aenumulapalli A et al 11 However, the results were different in a study Vangara SV et al who found that males have a greater risk of pes planus than women with a prevalence of 42% in men and 36% in women.…”

“…15,16 Pes planus is a very commonly seen deformity Most authors currently agreed that flexible flat foot may be considered an anatomic variant and is not a disabling deformity. 17 History from participants revealed that Patients with pes planus showed poorer quality of life and foot function than patients not suffering from the disorder. This is similar to the study conducted by Pita-Fernandez et al 18 In the current study, out of 500 subjects, the prevalence of pes planus was found in 145 subjects (29%).…”

Background: Pes planus, also known as flat foot, is one of the most commonly seen foot deformity. It is characterized by a very low or an absent arch, which is the main supportive structure of the foot. Pes planus deformity is associated with impaired foot movements and increased frequency of pain and discomfort. Aims and Objectives: The present study was carried out to estimate the prevalence of pes planus among young healthy individuals in South Indian population. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out among 500 individuals (168 males and 332 females) between the ages of 18 and 25 years. The feet of all subjects were visually inspected and footprint screening test was carried out. Results: The prevalence of pes planus among the study subjects was 29%. The highest prevalence and pattern of age wise distribution of pes planus was observed in 20 years (24%), followed by 18years (16%), 19& 21years (14%), 23years (13%), and 22,24&25 years (10%,6%,3% respectively). Conclusion: Regular screening and monitoring of this foot deformity would create awareness about foot problems and can guide care givers to provide suitable footwear for persons with pes planus. It is advisable to conduct early screening so as to reduce the flatfoot progression into the adulthood and would assist better in their physical activities.

“…Prevalensi mengenai tipe arkus kaki normal foot, flat foot, dan cavus foot masih kontroversi. 13 Hal ini dapat dipengaruhi oleh alat ukur serta pengklasifikasian yang berbeda. Pada penelitian ini menggunakan klasifikasi dari Clarke's Angle dengan akurasi yang tinggi (AUC 0,94).…”

“…Cavus foot dapat terjadi karena idiopatik ataupun gangguan neurologis, namun masih sedikit literatur yang membahas mengenai mekanisme terjadinya nyeri pada orang dengan cavus foot. 13 Beberapa peneliti melaporkan bahwa orang dengan flat foot memiliki berbagai gejala karena pengurangan efisiensi energi. Maka dari itu, orang dengan kondisi flat foot mengeluhkan adanya ketidaknyamanan atau rasa sakit yang tidak normal pada kakinya serta adanya gejala klinis seperti ketidakstabilan pergelangan kaki, plantar fasciitis, dan achilles tendinitis, sedangkan adanya tekanan yang terus menerus pada sisi luar atau sisi lateral pada cavus foot dapat menyebabkan terjadinya plantar callus serta lebih banyak mengalami stress fracture.…”

Growth and development in children are important. One of these is the development of walking or gait. Some parents often feel worried when their child’s gait pattern looks abnormal, which can be caused by the presence of abnormalities in the type of foot arch. The type of foot arch consists of normal foot, flat foot, and the cavus foot. The foot arch can affect the gait pattern; the gait pattern can be measured with gait parameters. Basic gait parameters which were often used; the cadence, stride length, step length, and speed. The purpose of this research is to analyze the existence of differences in gait parameters in each type of foot arch at elementary school children between aged 10-12 years in West Denpasar. This analytical study was used a cross-sectional study design that was held on March 2019. The number of samples in the study were 113 people (58 men, 55 women) between aged 10-12 years. The type of foot arch measured the independent variable by doing the footprint, and the classification used Clarke's Angle. Measurements of the dependent variables using the different way. Cadence is measured by asking the persons to walk for a minute and then counted the number of their steps in a minute. Measurement of stride length and step length by doing the footprint on the long cover paper. Speed is calculated using the formula of results cadence and stride length. After obtaining the data, the normality test used Kolmogorov Smirnov Test and homogeneity test by Levene's had been done. The analysis used the Kruskal Wallis Test to find out significant mean difference among the group (p = 0.000). Based on this study, it was concluded that there are different gait parameters among normal foot, flat foot and cavus foot in children aged 10-12 years at elementary school in West Denpasar.

Prevalence of flat foot among 18-24 years old students studying at higher medical education institution. SI «Dnepropetrovsk Medical Academy of Ministry of Health of Ukraine», MMI "City Clinical Hospital № 9" of the Dnipro City Council, Dnipro, Ukraine. ABSTRACT. Background. A frequency of flat foot dominantes among the static deformations. Flat fооt has a progressive course and reduces life quality which is important for many medical specialties. Objective. To determine the condition of the longitudinal and transverse foot arch and flat fооt frequency within female and male students studying at higher medical educational institution. Methods. 50 male with an average age of 20.1±0.2 years and 50 female with an average age of 19.9±0.3 years havе been examined. Friedland podometric indices were used to determine the longitudinal and transverse flat fооt. Results. A decrease in longitudinal foot arch of varying degrees was determined in 50% of the examined students on one (13%) or both (37%) sides. A sharp decrease in the longitudinal foot arch was observed in 23% of students on one or both sides, but a bilateral sharp decrease in 12% of students. There were 40% of female with bilateral flat foot, 10% with unilateral one, and 34% of male with bilateral flat foot, 16% with unilateral one. A transverse flat foot on one or both sides was found out in 12% of the examined students (among female in 10%, among male in 14%), 11% of students had combined transverse and longitudinal flat foot. The foot excavation was observed in 22% of the examined students, but sharp foot excavation in 4%. The body mass index correlation with the podometric index was negligible. Significant differences in the flat fооt frequency depending on the gender were not observed. Оnly 31.4% of students with the flat fооt signs identified during examination were previously consulted by the doctor. Other problems of the musculoskeletal system in students with flat fооt were encountered twice as often as in students without flat fооt. Conclusion. The obtained data indicate the necessity for timely diagnostics, prevention and treatment of flat fооt, in particular among medical students.
